What's theodicy?

Barbara Ehrenreich wrote the book Nickled and Dimed, which I enjoyed quite a bit. She wondered what it would be like to try and survive on minimum wage jobs and worked as a cleaning lady and applied at Walmart (among other things), and wrote about her experiences. Her book made me realize how something like a car breaking down can mean the difference between sinking or swimming.

Recently Barbara wrote an article called "God Owes Us an Apology" in rebuttal to those who claim to know "His Will" regarding the catastrophic tsunami. It is well done and, since it is Sunday, it seems appropriate to draw your attention to it:

God Owes Us an Apology
